At 6'3 285 lbs, Hood has good size but it is his strength that is unmatched and he hits with aggression. He has the wherewithal to attack the second level. The Cheektowaga native will be transferring to South Park for his senior season. The transfer will open a lot of doors for him for many collegiate opportunities.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1283649"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1290554,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-665a1186597d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1283649' first='Jeremiah' last='Guerrero'] is a tall, athletic playmaker with a high motor.

He is very athletic for an interior defensive lineman that will gain much deserved collegiate attention as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["648871"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-665a11865988a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='648871' first='Anthony' last='Pitts Jr'] was a two time All Catholic selection as a Freshman and Sophomore before he transferred to Canisius in 2023. I was unable to find any film from this past season but what I did see in his first two years was an athlete that plays with a lot of hostility. He uses his hands well and has great awareness. Pitts is great at tracking down ball carriers. Regardless of his junior season, Anthony has been invited to several college camps but a big senior year will bring him many offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1283948"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1290564,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-665a1186598dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1283948' first='Aiden' last='Wojtusiak'] didn't become a varsity starter until the 4th game of his junior season. And he made noise right from the start. In just 7 games, Aiden racked up 64 tackles (14 for loss) and 8.5 sacks. He also proved to be a ballhawk with 3 fumble recoveries and a touchdown. He is very fast and his hand technique is good. He was also a dynamic asset on special teams as a gunner. Currently, Wojtusiak is listed at under 200 lbs. He will need to get that number up and most likely convert to linebacker but this is a special player and whatever college signs him will be getting a unique talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1283976"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1290568,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-665a11865992c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">2023 was [player_tooltip player_id='1283976' first='Vidal' last='Dinkins'] first season at Timon and he led a dominate rushing attack. Dinkins is an excellent pulling Guard that is fierce at the point of attack. He has great hand placement and finishes his blocks better than just about anyone. Vidal is shorter than the ideal for an O Lineman but he has the talent and technique to be on a collegiate roster in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
